When importing from Word, my 'Next style' in my paragraph settings isn't working

I made a 'Next Paragraph Style' that i working when I write directly in my document. But when importing text from Word and customizing the text, there is no option of overriding paragraphstyles with 'Next styles'.

The problem is, that after a subheading, I want the normal text to NOT make a tab, but when the normal text is coming continusly, I want a tab when there is a new section of text. How do I make that work without having to make the copywriter doing the styling manually in the word document? It would be nice if the text after a subheading was just ALWAYS the paragraphstyle that I automated as 'next style'. So when for example moving af subheading, the paragraph style would move with it. Is that possible to do, and how?

You can creae an object style, define the first style and next style. This will format the whole stry automatically if the frame is not linkes, but you can do it with the next step.

This might be a little quicker, but it still requires that the object style be applied AFTER the text is placed. Importing text into a pre-styled frame does not automatically format.

This is normal behavior.

The only way to get Next Style heirarchies work with placed or pasted text is to select a block of text, but your cursor in the first paragraph in th block, open the Paragraph Styles Panel, right-click the name of the style to apply to the first paragragh and choose Apply [stylename] and Next Style from the flyout.
